Luo Xiaoqian was taken aback and looked at him driving with some astonishment.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing!" Jiao Yang suddenly burst into laughter, turned his face toward her, and his eyes ambiguously met hers, "Xiao Qian, you’re not worried about Leng Zimo seeing me and getting jealous, are you?"
A blush crept onto Luo Xiaoqian’s face. "I didn’t mean that, I just don’t want you to take risks for me, after all, this is my personal affair."
Hearing the politeness in her tone, a dark shade flickered in Jiao Yang’s eyes, but the smile on his lips grew even more pronounced.
"A gentleman like me would never leave such a lovely lady by the roadside in the rain."
Just then, a strange noise came from up the mountain.
Luo Xiaoqian turned her face, and seeing the rocks rolling down from the mountain, she cried out in alarm.
"Watch out!"
Jiao Yang abruptly turned the steering wheel and simultaneously stepped on the brakes.
The SUV skidded forcefully across the mountain road, screeching to a halt.
The rocks rolled past one meter away from the mountainside and into the ravine on the other side.
Luo Xiaoqian lowered her arms, which had been covering her head, and with a lingering fear, she looked at the cracked road surface and then at Jiao Yang in the driver’s seat. Worried, she asked, "Are you okay?"
"Of course... I’m fine!" Jiao Yang’s gaze swept over the gravel on the road, and he turned and smiled at her, "How about that, my driving isn’t bad, huh?"
"You’ve still got the nerve to smile!" Luo Xiaoqian gave him a helpless glance, "Thank you for bringing me here!"
She got out of the car, walked around the front of the vehicle to his side, and waved at him. She flashed her flashlight on the mountain path beside her and treaded past the section where the rocks had just fallen.
As she walked on, she heard unusual noises coming from behind and turned her head in confusion.
